Mensen die aan microdosing doen, zouden zich creatiever voelen en beter presteren. Maar klopt dat wel? In deze aflevering van Tussen Hype & Hoax duiken we in de wereld van microdosing.
Samen met wetenschapper Josjan Zijlmans bespreken redacteuren Jip Koene en Romain Beker hoe wetenschappelijk dit populaire fenomeen is. Leiden kleine doses truffels of LSD echt tot verhoogde creativiteit en prestaties? En vallen paddotruffels ook onder microdosing?

Psychedelotropism - “Finding a way by manifesting the mind.”

We are, all of us, tied together by an ancient biochemical link; one that predates the divergence of all major kingdoms of life. What began two and a half billion years ago in the primeval waters of the Archean Eon would one day come to be involved in almost all aspects of animal life.

What might the origins of serotonin and its chemical cousins reveal about the nature and function of psychedelic experience? Could the processes of psychedelic experience help us find meaning, learn from the past, gain insight, and find a way forward? Could they even help us strategize, innovate, re-orient our priorities, and more effectively allocate our resources?

Psychedelotropism approaches these questions with a combination of neuropsychology and evolutionary biology along with a multitude of modern findings from classical psychedelic research.

Psychedelotropism - The Luminous Origins of Serotonin and Classical Psychedelic Experience

Siobhan and Mike have a mission to help humanity transition from a troubled past to a more efficient present, ultimately aiming for a brighter future. Siobhan explains that "The World of Moosh" is not just about selling products; it's about promoting a holistic approach to mental health and wellness. Initially focused on microdosing with mushrooms, the company envisions expanding its offerings to include various modalities that promote overall well-being.

Mike shares the origins of their company, emphasizing the high-quality mushroom products and microdosing protocols they offer. He notes the growing body of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of microdosing, contrasting it with the past perception of mushrooms as merely recreational substances. Both Siobhan and Mike reflect on their personal experiences with microdosing, describing how it has allowed them to be more present and cultivate a sense of gratitude.

Mike explains that microdosing involves taking a sub-perceptual dose of mushrooms, meaning it enhances daily tasks without altering consciousness. The goal is to find the right dose that works for the individual, as sensitivity can vary from person to person.

Practical Tips for Microdosing:

Start Low and Go Slow: Begin with a very small dose and gradually increase it until you find the optimal amount that enhances your daily activities without causing noticeable changes in perception.

Consistency is Key: Incorporate microdosing into your routine consistently to experience its full benefits. Siobhan mentions that their product comes in a convenient pouch, making it easy to integrate into daily life.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body and mind respond to different doses. Everyone's sensitivity is different, so it's crucial to find what works best for you.

Siobhan shares her initial motivation for microdosing, which was to enhance focus and productivity. However, she discovered unexpected benefits, such as a deeper connection with her children and friends. This newfound sense of connection became a driving force behind her passion for promoting the benefits of microdosing.

Mike emphasizes that microdosing fosters a greater awareness of one's thoughts and emotions. He discusses the importance of not allowing external factors to dictate one's mood, advocating for personal empowerment in managing emotional responses. This practice encourages individuals to reclaim their power over their emotions and not let external circumstances dictate their feelings.

The conversation delves into the significance of mindset in shaping one's perception of reality. Mike articulates that negative thoughts can lead to frustration and a distorted view of the world. He encourages listeners to reclaim their power over their emotions and not to let external circumstances dictate their feelings.

And psychedelics have entered the zeitgeist. Although illegal as a Schedule I drug in much of the United States and beyond, two states have approved use of psilocybin mushrooms in therapeutic settings, and many more states are reviewing their policies. Schedule I drugs are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse or drugs with no recognized medical uses. However, psilocybin mushrooms have had numerous medicinal and religious uses in dozens of cultures throughout history and let's face it, mushrooms are not addictive. Paul Stamets is one of the leading advocates worldwide for opening up the possibility of legalizing.

Paul introduces listeners to several key mushroom species, and beyond psychedelics they have important medical and therapeutic uses in treatment of diseases. He emphasizes the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge with modern science, revealing how traditional practices can inform and enhance our approach to health and wellness. With a focus on the potential of psilocybin mushrooms to address mental health challenges and promote community healing, Paul inspires hope for a future where fungi play a crucial role in both personal and planetary health.
